I did thanks. And I shall share my highlight of the day with you - cos you know you want me too.
Stopped off on way home to get petrol (144 miles each way to Aberdeen) and some Red Bull. None in garage so popped over to service station and picked up a can at WH Smith. Remembered the Lego offer from the newsletter and asked the chap if they were doing it there (very small WH Smith more WH Smi). He says yes, it's in the Daily Record. Grab paper and ask him if he wants the coupon or shall I just put it back and he can resell the paper, just want the Lego for not very Small Boy. Tells me to put it back and have the Lego, he's boxes of the stuff and if I hold on there are other sets out the back. In the end he gives me 6 different sets at no charge cos boys like Lego!
Such a nice thing to do, put a huge smile on my face and Christmas Day will be spent with my large Small Boy making Lego sets which he'll love. Good Karma to Mr WH Smith man I say. His little boy will be happy - he's taking lots home for him too.
Glad OH is back safe. Big weight off your shoulders.:A Let us be grateful to people who make us happy: they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. Marcel Proust :A0 -
